For now, lolicon is not actually illegal. In the time it takes for it to become illegal and for feds to be mobilized, you could have already dd'd /dev/urandom to your disk and overwritten anything that was on there.

too much of a pain. truecrypt is dead and unsupported, bitlocker is apparently lolbackdoored anyway. having any sort of issue with the filesystem or drive, encryption makes recovery that much more difficult.

Can someone give me an introduction to encrypting your data? I never thought it was particular useful for me but now that I have some bigger projects I figure I could try to protect them. Should I be using some open-source encryption software? What would you recommend, also have any of you written your own encryption scripts? Care to share on insight?

>>45679956>linuxwhile I work to help administer many linux and AIX servers that run enterprise softwares, many of the clients are restricted to windows & IE. for my own personal computers, I don't really have a choice of linux.

One of the enterprise softwares I deal with 70% of the day is half supported on Linux, and most of the software is web based, which is only supported in IE. It mostly works in Firefox and Chrome fine, but it isn't technically supported on anything but IE (e.g. if you send an email about a problem, they will deny it unless it can be reproduced in IE).

Lets say i have normal HDD filled with non-encrypted data. I come to realize i want to encrypt it and i do ______(what?). After that, would i be able to access that data without encryption key (would it all be like RAR files with password, something like that?). And finally, will any new files i add to HDD also be encrypted or will i have to do it for new files also?

>>45681460Well yes something like that. If you encrypt your HDD it basically becomes a giant encrypted rar archive. To access your files you need to decrypt them, a program like Truecrypt permanently runs in the background and does that for you after you "open the HDD with your password".

And because it works like that, it's permanently using your CPU. Modern CPUs (Intel i processors 2nd gen and upwards, not sure about AMD) have a built in decryption chip for some algorithms that speed this up. It will work ok on Core2Duo/Quad processors.

>>45681592>>45681460>any new files i add to HDD also be encrypted or will i have to do it for new files also?New files will also be automatically encrypted. Your encrypted HDD will show up as a normal HDD (at least with Truecrypt, depends on configuration) and can be used normally.

>>45681627>How power hungry whole process is?I don't have any numbers, but it didn't significantly slow anything down. You WILL notice a difference between encrypted and not-encrypted, should not be a problem though.

>>45681734You can use your Windows user authentication in Truecrypt I think, but the internals are a bit tricky and make recovery hard. So people do not recommend it most of the time. But of course you can use the same password. Should work with Bitlocker too, not sure. Truecrypt does not integrate 100% into the system unless you do full disk encryption with your whole boot HDD.

If you really want privacy from the NSA your only option is to take your device off of the network.Then manually inspect all of your PC components to make sure they didn't bug it. And make sure your computer's vibrations are insulated from the outside world.
